Mets fans cried foul yesterday after their beloved team was pulled off Time Warner cable.

“That sucks,” said Monica Coronel of Queens, complaining she’ll have to find a place with a satellite dish.

“If can’t watch them on cable then I have to go out to a bar to see them,” she said. “I would tell them to go back to the negotiating table.”

Mike Levine, who also lives in Queens, said, “I’m disappointed, but with the Mets nine games out, it couldn’t have happened at a better time. It’ll free three hours a day to waste on other things.”

Cablevision stopped distributing games broadcast by the MSG Network and Fox Sports to Time Warner yesterday.

Fans who get their cable directly from Cablevision, which owns MSG and has an interest in Fox Sports, are not affected.

The Mets are not scheduled to play today – giving negotiators 24 hours to hit a home run to keep tomorrow’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers from being blacked out for Time Warner’s 1.2 million customers.

Fans said the $2-a-month rebate they were offered is chicken feed.

“Two dollars doesn’t even get you a round trip to Shea,” said Mike McConnell, 56, who was watching yesterday’s game – one of the few broadcast on regular TV – against the Atlanta Braves at the ESPN Zone in Times Square.

“If they don’t get their act together, I guess I’ll have to listen on the radio, like in the old days.”

The Time Warner offer rejected by Cablevision was a monthly rate of $1.10 per customer per month for each of the two networks, or $2.20 since the two are packaged together, a Cablevision source said.

Time Warner had no immediate comment on the amount of money in dispute.

Unless a deal is struck first, Time Warner customers won’t see the Mets on TV again until Saturday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, which is being broadcast on WNYW/Channel 5.

“They’re pulling the plug on their own customers,” MSG Network President Mike McCarthy said.

Time Warner blamed Cablevision for refusing to extend the current contract, which it has been doing since it expired in December.

“Cablevision has demanded unprecedented rates for programming that continues to diminish in value,” Time Warner spokesman Keith Cocozza said.

The dispute recalls the one in 2002 when Cablevision subscribers were deprived of Yankee games on the YES Network for much of the season.

Satellite television providers such as DirecTV used the dispute to lure Cablevision customers away.
